Business Challenge
With an IT staff serving more than 160 franchise owners in over 90 major U.S. and Canadian cities, The Maids generates a vast store of vital operational data. Keeping that data both secure and backed up away from their primary datacenter became a daunting challenge, as tape backups often failed and data was only replicated and retained once a week. Building a dedicated offsite backup solution was both a costly and time-consuming endeavor, The Maids looked to the Cloud for a faster, easier and more cost-effective means of securing their data backups. Opti9 Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) powered by Veeam was there with the answer.
Leveraging the power of theĀ Veeam Cloud Connect solution, Opti9 deployed a comprehensive Disaster Recovery platform that allowed The Maids to build an offsite Virtual Machine datastore quickly and easily, without having to buy expensive hardware or software to support the Disaster Recovery solution.
